Name: Resident Evil: First Hour
Genre: Horror
Released: 2011-11-29
Rating: 6.5
Cast: Jeff Mash, Kevin Millington, James Whitwell

This rather short series chronicles the first hour or so of Leon S Kennedy in Raccoon city (ever wondered why Leon started with the police uniform in Resident Evil 2? Here is your answer) It is not massively budgeted by any means and it is not largely insightful. The aim is to show how Leon reacted during the first hour of the outbreak and in that respect, it succeeded. Maybe it's not to everyone's taste but i personally loved it. Here's hoping it catches on and they decide to make a full series of the Resident Evil universe.

And just a heads up: This series doesn't involve anything to do with Alice nor the kind of powers she possesses. It doesn't involve fast moving, tentacle faced creatures or anything like that. It's straight up, traditional zombies.

The b-horror subgenre features modest production values, simple plots, and reliance on certain horror tropes and clichés. The stories are often low-budget, low-quality, and sometimes intentionally campy or cheesy. The "B" designation originally referred to the second feature in a double feature presentation, with the "A" film being the main attraction. Over time, "B-movies" became associated with low-budget and less prestigious productions.

The zombie horror subgenre features zombies, reanimated corpses, as central figures of fear and terror. The subgenre often explores themes of survival, societal breakdown, and can serve as a metaphor for societal anxieties, consumerism, conformity, and the dehumanizing effects of mass culture.

The horror genre features stories that aim to elicit fear, suspense, and a sense of dread in its audience. Horror stories often explore themes related to the unknown, the supernatural, and the macabre, and they frequently evoke strong emotional reactions such as anxiety, terror, and unease.

Leon Kennedy and two other police officers find themselves trapped on a farm outside Raccoon City, fighting for their lives against an undead horde.
